Barely conscious Silver flipped over in his bed, trying to find the elusive sweet spot to fly back to dreamland once again. He grasped at his blankets blindly attempting to pull them closer to his form. The morning was chilly and Silver wasn’t about to lose the battle to the waking world. His still gloved hand finally grasped a corner of his blanket only to find that it was for some reason stuck and would not budge. Grimacing with his eyes tightly shut Silver pulled and pulled to no avail. Growing limp Silver opened bleary eyes to come face to face with the bright emerald eyes of Sonic.

Sonic was sitting on his bed effectively pinning the blankets Silver had kicked off in the night down. Grinning widely the speedster gingerly poked Silvers side.

“Wake up Sleeping Beauty.” Sonic teased. Moaning, Silver rolled to the other side before curling up and closing his eyes once again. There was a pause before Silver felt soft hands rake up and down his sides. Giggling and gasping Silver quickly rolled off and stood next to the bed sleepily.

Chuckling, Sonic crawled off the bed and in the blink on an eye gave Silver a quick peck on the cheek. 

“Brought breakfast home for us. You don’t mind eating here do ya?” 

“I don’t mind it at all.What did you get?” Silver blushed, unsure as to return the kiss with a peck on the cheek or simply let it go.

“Eh, well...I kinda got everything.” Sonic scratched the back of his head absentmindedly before counting off everything he purchased on his fingers. “...Pancakes, a hash brown, sausage, eggs, bacon, a parfait and some coffee.” 

“You know Shads likes those swiss rolls and fruity pancakes and I like sausage and eggs but I wasn’t quite sure what you like.” 

Silver smiled remembering the dishes and baked goods he made for them before responding. “I like just about anything.Thank you for getting breakfast.” 

“Heh, no problem,anything for you Silv.” Snapping his fingers the speedster continued “Oh yeah, we don’t have a fridge right now so we are going to have to eat it all.” 
“Or I could take some to Tails.” Sonic added as an afterthought.

Nodding Silver picked up his boots and followed Sonic down the stairs to grab his luggage to find and put on a fresh pair of gloves and socks.

“Why do you want to eat inside? Should we eat upstairs?” Silver questioned as he pulled his socks on while avoiding the debris on the floor.

“I’m not feeling to hot after last night and I was thinking we could eat on the roof.” Sonic picked up plastic bags in one hand and a cup carrier with two cups of coffee in his other hand.

“Do you need help?” Silver slipped his boots on and outstretched his hand intending to mentally grasp the packaged food from Sonic’s hands.

“Don’t worry about it. Leave it to me.” Sonic winked with a smile as he held the packages and started to carefully make his way outside and to the roof. 

“Okay, I need to freshen up I guess I’ll meet you there.” 

After arranging his quills and washing his face and hands Silver floated out the window and took to the roof. There, on a relatively flat portion towards the middle of the house- Sonic was laying arms crossed behind his head with one foot propped upon his knee. Seeing that his eyes were closed, silently Silver floated above him from behind taking in his serene expression. A feeling of innocent affection washed over Silver, and he blushed hotly at the speedsters features that spread warmth within him.

 Gently leaning down Silver lightly kissed the very tip of the heroes nose before quickly recoiling just in time to see the speedsters right eye snap open and a warm smile grace his face. Slightly embarrassed at initiating the simple kiss, Silver started to float upward before being yanked into peach furred arms.

"Come ere'." Sonic smirked as he grasped the wrist of the youngster and pulled him into a hug whilst nuzzling him. Flushed Silver nuzzled back, softly burrowing his muzzle in the side of the hero's quills. Relaxing in Sonic's arms, Silver enjoyed a moment he had dreamt of since he began living with the elusive blue blur.

A growl below him snapped him out of his reverie. Sonic sheepishly smiled.

"Oh, I'm sorry.You must be hungry!" Feeling warm and elated from the moment Silver laughed and levitated the packaged food and drinks towards them, taking out the sausage and eggs container for the speedster.

The two ate in silence watching Station Square come alive. Shivering, Silver sipped on  his coffee. He found the past to be much colder than his previous future.

Letting out a small burp Sonic cleared the food intending to give what they didn't touch to Tails."I'm going to drop these of with Tails. When I come back what do you want to do?"

Silver sighed "We need to fix the house before Shadow comes back."

"Don't worry about it. I called a contractor. They should be here tomorrow; we just need to clean up the mess." With a quick kiss to to the forehead Sonic left Silver to his thoughts.

 The albino returned to the house taking his coffee with him.Using his powers he took several trips to discard what had been broken and organize what had been spared into boxes. Sonic returned and started cleaning up the shattered glass and plaster on the floor before vacuuming the carpet in the living area. When the first story was clean they surveyed the actual damage to the house.

"I hope we can afford this." Silver worried, as he felt the holed up cabinets.

"I hope the city can afford us." Sonic shook his head smiling.

"Sonic, why didn't you take the fight outside? You two normally are not this…careless."Silver questioned as he gestured to the hedgehog shaped holes in the wall and singed items that had been previously inflicted with chaos spears. Silver's telekinesis episode had done no where near as much damage as Sonic and Shadow. The hero gazed upon the damage with a solemn look and finally responded.

"After you heard our argument we sort of …just… snapped."

"Why were you two arguing in the first place?"Silver pushed trying to get to the bottom of the issue.
"I… was confronting Shadow. I guess ever since we have started living together I have felt a little bit left out too." Sonic sat down on one of the boxes around him, running a hand across his face.

"It didn't go so well and after I had hurt you I realized that I was being just like him."
Silver joined him. It wasn't often that Sonic shared his feelings and Silver was savoring the moment.

"We need to talk about this- all of us." Silver responded genuinely taken with the hero's confession. 

Nodding, Sonic added "But for now, let's enjoy ourselves. I was thinking we could do a little shopping- we need a fridge' at least."

~O~

It wasn't often Shadow doubted himself. He had trained himself to deal with consequences far beyond what others would comprehend. And yet, he was wary about a subject he had little to no expertise in. As he was chaffered and presented to different world leaders and shoved into various meetings he couldn't help but ponder on the state of his companions. Usually, the dark agent would curb emotion on the job for the sake of his missions. But, for the first time his personal life took center stage in his mind. 

Shadow was currently sitting in a meeting discussing military costs. The hedgehog gave next to no input on the matter, knowing how insulted humans would get if he voiced his opinion on their need for military supremacy. Which was ironic considering his place in all of it.

Still, he found himself tuning out the crisp gentleman giving an in depth presentation in favor of reflecting on what was to occur once he returned home. Internally, the dark hedgehog had admitted to himself that he had been a good part of the reason why things went haywire. Fully knowing Sonic’s jealously he had continued to ignore the speedster and shower his affections on Silver. The truth was he did enjoy the cocky hero. He had developed feelings for the annoyance long before he had met Silver. Back then his feelings were kept a secret until he had met Silver who he was able to connect with on a more emotional level. Then the three had decided to pursue a relationship together. Part of him wanted Silver for himself, and part of him wanted Sonic for himself. He realized subconsciously he wanted to keep them away from each other.

Now, he was facing the consequences.

Taking a casual sip of coffee placed before him Shadow desperately hoped that the two back home would be able to patch things up. He recalled his fight with Sonic, the sparing was emotionally driven and hectic destroying the beautiful kitchen the three had just barely acquired. And then as a last ditch effort, before he left he had thrown Silver’s journal directly at the hero’s face. Silver wouldn’t be to happy once he found out that Shadow would regularly read it and had taken it. 

Still it was with heavy resolve that Shadow admitted to himself how broken their three way relationship really was. He hoped the speedster had taken the time to read the little book and hoped that when the time came they would be able to resolve the issue. If Silver did not accept Sonic after their outbursts then things would be a bit harder. The day after tomorrow he would need to apologize to both of them.

~O~

“The new stove and refrigerator won’t be here until tomorrow. Are you sure we should be buying food?” Silver asked pushing the shopping cart down the snacks isle. 

“Yeah, I was thinking you and I could go do a little camping. We are already using the icebox, we’ll just take it with us.” Sonic responded heartily as he threw a bag of marshmallows and a bar of chocolate in the cart.

“Camping? Sonic...for a good part of my life all I did was camp.” Silver eyed the marshmallows with distaste.

“As did I.” Sonic smiled as he picked up a box of graham crackers. 

“Where are we going to camp?” Silver reluctantly asked sighing as he pushed the cart over to the meat section.

“A little place Tails and I camp at for fun. What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow?” The two stopped and gazed at the selection of breakfast sausage and deli sliced cut meat. The two stopped and gazed at the selection of breakfast sausage and deli sliced cut meat.

“Hmm... maybe sausage and eggs? Or do you wants some bacon?” Sonic asked as he reached for sausage links and some thick bacon.

“Wait, forget the bacon but get the maple sausage links.” Silver called out at the end of the isle as he grabbed a small four pack of eggs that were on sale. Placing the items in the cart the two carried on. “You picked up potatoes when you were shopping last time right? Sonic asked as he lead the way to the vegetables and fruits section.

“Yeah, let’s see: we wasted the milk and cheese but I also bought potatoes, shallots, jam, french bread, apples, carrots and ground beef.” Silver answered as he moved over to the baked goods and picked up a box of blue frosted sugar cookies. 

“Silvs... we don’t need that.” Sonic crossed his arms half heartledly whilst smiling. 

“Please? Don’t be like Shadow.” Silver pouted, holding the box of confections to his fluffy chest protectively.

“Aww...I can’t say no to you.” Sonic chuckled as he moved to the other, taking the box of treats before leaning in for a quick kiss. 

Blushing profusely at being kissed in public the albino hedgehog placed his hands over his lips in shock as Sonic smirked, dropping the box in the cart. 

“Alright, lets pay and head home.” The speedster chirped as he made his way to the check out pushing the cart with a flustered Silver trailing behind him. 

~O~

I always forget how persuasive Sonic is. Silver mused flying beside the blue blur towards a campsite as he mentally shifted the icebox infront of him to the side whilst adjusting his backpack. They had been journeying to the campsite for an hour, going at a slow pace due to the provisions they were carrying. They traveled along the coastline, until they were far away from the bustling cities and growing townships. They passed fertile farmland and shabby but happy surfer communities until they found themselves at a reserved park protected by the government along the beach.

The two made their way through the sand finding a spot that was far enough from the tide to set up camp. Working together they pitched the tent and set up a fire ring just as the sun was beginning to set.

Silver sat, watching the flicker of the fire before him light up and accentuate Sonic’s concentrating expression as the hero stirred a pot of stew above it. The beach was tranquil but cold. The albino wrapped his arms around himself tightly and moved closer to the fire. A bowl of stew was gently placed in his hands as the speedster joined him. Finishing the stew Silver realized it was time to go to bed. The tent they set up would barely fit the two of them and Silver had a sneaky suspicion Sonic was looking forward to a little something on the beach, judging from all the looks he had given him as he was helping set up. It was at that moment Silver was sharply reminded of the photo. 

Silver collected their dirty utensils and dish ware to gently wipe them clean before putting them away. As he cleaned he could feel Sonic watching him intensely from beside the fire. Was he really okay with having intercourse with him after their little outburst that barely happened the day before. He knew Sonic lusted for him, but did he really care for and love him? When he first had intercourse with Shadow it had brought them closer together. Would it be the same for Sonic? Come to think of it, when was the last time the hero had sex? He wasn’t necessarily involved with anyone besides them from what the public knew. All those times he had been taking Shadows passion Sonic had been ignored. It was no wonder Sonic was jealous of him!

Silver turned and watched as Sonic stood up from beside the fire ring to stretch before calling out to him.

“I’ll be back, nature’s calling.” Sonic saluted and winked before picking up a roll of toilet paper and leaving the beach.

Before Silver was aware of what he was doing he extinguished the fire with his powers before taking off down the beach as soon as Sonic was out of sight. Perching on a large cliff a good ways from the camp Silver realized how nervous he was about sleeping with the blue blur especially after what had happened lately. He needed a little space.

Sonic and Shadow had practically given him everything. Without them, Silver would have been homeless. He had no possessions or wealth in the past and his possessions in the future were non existent after it had changed. He owed them a lot. What about Shadow? Would he be angry if he knew they were thinking of getting it on while he was gone? No. Shadow knew how much Silver desired Sonic and had agreed to “sharing” right? But his actions proved otherwise.

 So should he? Silver stood to leave, resolving to see how the night played out. Maybe he was embellishing and Sonic’s looks weren’t lusty. Maybe the hero had no intentions of wanting him. With that thought the young hedgehog made his way back to camp. As he was flying back to camp he witnessed Sonic carefully zip around the campsite looking for him before noticing him and running up to him. 

“Where’d you go?” Sonic questioned as he skidded to a halt careful not to spray him with sand.
“ I...went sightseeing.” Silver stuttered looking away briefly. 

“Oh yeah? What did ya see?” Sonic placed a hand on his hip and gave Silver a look that implied he wasn’t buying it.

Silver hesitated to answer. He wrung his hands nervously before Sonic spoke up once again. 

“You’re a terrible liar Silvs. What’s up?” Silver looked into Sonic’s eyes and saw a bit of frustration laced with concern.

“Sonic, you don’t...expect anything out of me tonight do you?” Silver asked as he watched the concern on Sonic’s face melt away into shock.

Now it was Sonic’s turn to look away awkwardly. “ Well I can’t say it didn’t cross my mind.” Sonic sheepishly answered scratching his back quills nervously.

“I mean, yesterday we just you know... and I want to try and see if we can make it work but, this might be too fast.” The albino blushed realizing that his suspicions were correct.

“Silver if you feel a certain way just tell me; I would never force anything out of you. How about we talk about this at camp.” Holding out his hand Sonic waited for Silver to finally grasp it before they walked back to camp. Heading for the tent they took their shoes off, placed them in a sealed bag and crawled inside after zipping up the entrance. Reaching up, Sonic turned on the battery operated hanging lamp above them and focused on Silver waiting for him to continue. 

Feeling shy under the others gaze Silver fiddled with his sleeping bag and blankets before he gained the courage to honestly bring up everything. Communicating wasn’t one of Silver’s strong suits. 

“Sonic, when was the last time you had sex?” 

Taken aback by the direct question the hero laughed awkwardly. 

“It’s been a while. Not since Sally...” Sonic looked away solemnly.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Feeling guilty about bringing up the subject Silver tried to steer the conversation in a slightly different direction.

“ You... are bisexual right?” Sonic nodded wondering what Silver was getting at.

“So why Shadow and I? Why two guys?” Silver asked openly wondering if the hero would admit about knowing that Silver had a little special gift.

“Silver, what gender you two are doesn’t really matter to me. I love both of you for who you are even if I do get a bit jealous at times.” The hero answered honestly with a genuine smile.

“Sonic when I took back my journal I saw your pictures of ...us.” Silver watched Sonic’s eyes widen and his muzzle go a shade lighter. 

“For how long did you know about...me?” Silver berated himself for putting the other in such an awkward position but his curiosity was too strong.

“Heh, Silvs when you are flying near me its sort of easy to see...well... if you are looking.” Sonic coughed and struggled to keep his composure as he thought about the younger hedgehogs bits on display and realized just how close the two where at that very moment.

“Oh, I see.” Silver nodded before watching Sonic’s muzzle flush pink and the hero avoid contact with him.

“Sonic are you okay?” Concerned, Silver leaned closer to the flustered hero. “Did I say something wrong?”

“No Silv. Heh...I’m fine. We should just... go to sleep.” Sonic shifted his hands under the covers and turned over quickly to face away from the younger one.

“Okay... um, can you hand me the extra blankets? It’s kind of cold and they are on your side.” Silver silently watched the hero slowly turn over and drag the blankets across his body to Silver’s side. Realizing that he must of seriously annoyed Sonic with his questions for him to be avoiding him the albino uttered a soft good night as he reached up to turn off the hanging lamp above them. However, as he was about to flip the switch Silver noticed a prominent bulge under the covers. Realizing instantly what was going on, Silver turned off the light and snuggled into the back of the hedgehog beside him. Sonic tensed hoping that Silver would not discover or be put off by his reaction to their earlier conversation. The younger hedgehog admitted earlier that he was afraid to engage physically and Sonic didn’t want to scare him off. Carefully, Silver started to slowly massage Sonic’s shoulders. Rubbing in slow but deep circles the futuristic hedgehog trailed his hands down the others arms to rest his hands on Sonic’s hands that were desperately covering his crotch. Sonic involuntarily jerked at the feel of Silver’s hands and gasped when they met with their target.

“Silvs you don’t have to... you said!” Sonic started, trying not to lose it.

“This is my fault, let me fix it.” Silver whispered in the speedsters ear as he removed the hands in his way to feel the hero’s package. Gripping the base of the shaft Silver jerked the organ, gripping and pumping the flesh with steadfast accuracy. Panting, Sonic spread his legs and involuntarily bucked into the hand pleasuring him. Slipping under the covers the albino maneuvered his body between the speedsters spread legs to carefully slip his mouth around the organ and rapidly flick his tongue over the slit of the exposed member. Sonic groaned, the attention to the sensitive head was sending shocks of pleasure to his brain. Tasting pre-cum, Silver began to fondle the others balls as he started to deeply swallow the length in his maw. The younger hedgehog almost choked on the length as he thrust it further down his throat. Tears gathered at the corners of his eyes as he realized that the hero before him was a bit longer than Shadow’s. Continuing to suck deeply and thrust faster, Silver tasted the veiny shaft and deduced that though Sonic’s was longer, Shadow’s was definitely thicker. Looking up as he sucked he watched the half lidded eyes and blissful expression of the one he secretly desired for so long.

“Huck!” Sonic cried out as he tensed. Silver thrust as deep as he could and relaxed before feeling the organ throb in his mouth as warm thick streams of spunk traveled down his throat. Silver waited as Sonic rode out his orgasm and then proceeded to clean the organ softly with his light pink tongue. 

Silver gasped as he was pulled up into a deep kiss courtesy of the extremely satisfied hero. Silver sensually kissed back and broke for air.

“Silvs... that was amazing.” Sonic praised breathless as he pulled the fluffy white hedgehog closer. “I’ve got to pay you back later if you’ll let me.” Silver nuzzled into the crook of Sonics neck and kissed it.  “Thank you Sonic.”

Sonic quirked an eyeridge. “Thank you for what?I should be thanking you!” 

“Thank you for this time we’ve spent together.”
